Your bearings could be seized from the head gasket being blown. Happened to a station wagon I had. The motor had to be replaced cause it got very messed up. Luckily it was under warranty. Good Luck with your motor. Let us know what it was when you get it running.

Sounds like the same problem i'm having...i'll let you know what i find out when i get it started, i'm hot on the trail, only a few things left i havent check/replaced.

I'll have to vote to check out your bearings...I just ripped out my freinds Mitsu carbed engine b/c the idiot who rebuilt it didn't seat the head gasket right,and fried 3 main bearings...I mean,cooked those babies,other than that,the rest of the engine is fine....

and replace that head gasket....if its blown bad,that KA won't run at all....Is it at all possible for a full engine rebuilt?

Another couple of ideas....this sounds stupid,but is it turning over ? On that mitsu I mentioned,once the bearings were fried,it wouldn'd turn over at all....Check out your MAFs,and all your vacumme lines,and fuel lines...fuel pump/filter too...
